I used to feel weird taking real lunch breaks, like I had to be on every second. Now I try to step away, even just for 20 minutes, and it makes such a difference. What’s your small-but-powerful habit that helps you get through the workday?

Always take your full 1h lunch. Every day. Leave the building. Block out your calendar for that 1h every day. Make it a habit. Never budge. Never make excuses. If you have staff, make them do the same. Your productivity will thank you. Your physical and mental wellbeing will thank you. Just do it.

Totally relate. I started going on 10-minute walks after lunch—even just around the block—and it resets my brain way more than scrolling at my desk ever did.

The NEP has a book of business, though no idea how much it brings in.

My parents are visiting this week and mom and I made dinner tonight. Salmon is seasoned with Trader Joe’s ajika (a Georgian spice blend) and we just roasted the broccoli. The standout is the mejadara. It’s spiced rice and lentils with fried onions and is popular throughout the Middle East. We used the recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s cookbook, Jerusalem.

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?
